Welcome to Litsy!

Warren and Sarah were college lovers and they reconnect decades later. She‘s divorced but he‘s still married, unhappily but with a strong moral fiber. What are these star-crossed lovers to do? Up until the last six pages I loved this book, making it a soft pick. Hours later I‘m still shaking my head at the ending.

I don't enjoy novels where I don't like the characters and this book falls into that category. However, even though I liked almost none of the characters, the plot held my interest enough to want to know how it ended. I was not happy with the resolution though. In thinking about the novel, opera was a major thread throughout it and I guess the plot was a tragedy in the sense of an opera.

Sarah and Warren were college sweethearts but fell apart. Now 60, they meet again; he is married, she divorced. They embark upon an affair that reverberates across their lives and families. This is an intimate portrait of family and how decisions impact other people. It started in a way I expected but went somewhere I didn‘t. Well done and quite sad.
